    Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:
    Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis

    Now run Pocket Killbox:

    Choose Tools -> Delete Temp Files and click the RED X.

    Run Killbox.exe. Paste the below filenames into KILL BOX one at a time. Check mark the box that says "Delete on Reboot" and checkmark the box "Unregister DLL" (If available) Click the RED X and it will ask you to confirm the file for deletion say YES and when the next box opens prompting you to reboot now...click NO...and proceed with the next file. Once you get to the last one click YES and it will reboot. Note many of the file list below may not exist but we need to check for them anyway.
    If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself.

    Now boot into SAFE MODE

    Open ExplorerXP navigate to and DELETE the following: (Some of these may have already been deleted by Pocket Killbox)
    Now run CCleaner. If you have Windows XP delete the contents of C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch.

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start -> Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    And Click OK.

    REBOOT to Normal Mode.

    Post a fresh HijackThis log.

    Its running sort of slow, its taking almost 5 minutes just to start and load my desktop and there are these very odd back drop shadows on my desktop icon's. And just this very second I got a Microsoft Internet Explorer message saying "NOTICE: If your computer has been running slower than normal, it may be infected with Viruses, Adware or Spyware. Download WinAntiVirus FREE now!" But I know that WinAntiVirus is an actually virus it self so i've just been clicking the red X to get rid of it

    Most of the infections you had are now gone.

    I just noticed that HijackThis is named analyse.exe.exe. Rename to xyz.exe.

    << The installed version of Java on this compter is out-dated. Install version 1.5.0_07 available from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp. Uninstall all older versions of Java on your computer, before installing the latest version of Java. >>

    Follow the directions for running Running WinPfind by OldTimer.

    Post WinPFind.txt and a fresh HijackThis log.

    You want 1.5.0_07 of Java.

    Please remove the extra .exe from the renamed hijackthis.exe.

    I'll post a set of instructions shortly.

    All right so here's the thing, I don't know what 1.5.0_07 means so I just downloaded JDK 5.0 Update 7 because nothing was named what you said. Now for the HijackThis Process Manager thing, I didn't find these two files in it:

    C:\DOCUME~1\HP_Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\mmxsnet.exe
    C:\DOCUME~1\HP_Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\mshtml2.exe

    They may have been deleted yesterday because I ran another AdAware and SpyBot to see if either them could delete the files that they couldn't before.

    Here's another HijackThis log, also my desktop icon's still have a werid backdrop shadow and there's this suspicious white dot in the upper left hand corner

    JDK is the Java Development Kit, but that is OK. The JDK comes with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and installs the JRE when you install the JDK.

    Your HijackThis log is clean.

    1. Open the Control Panel
    2. Open Display Properties.
    3. Click the Desktop tab.
    4. Click the Customize Desktop button.
    5. Click the Web tab in the Desktop Items window.

    Disable Active Desktop, un-check all checkboxes in this window.

    How is your computer running?
